Qualidade de vida no trabalho de discentes em atividades de estágio: o caso FEAAC/UFC

Abstract

The analysis of the quality of life at work is necessary to understand the level of satisfaction and health of the employees of an organization. The internship activities are the students' first contact with the practical reality of their area of study. The constant search for trainees to show their managers their efficiency and commitment can lead them to extend their physical and emotional limits. The present work sought to analyze the quality of life in the work of the FEAAC / UFC students in the traineeship activity between the years 2018 and 2019, using Richard Walton's (1973) QWL model. It presents as theoretical foundation the concepts of QWL, the models created by Walton (1973), Hackman & Oldham (1975), Westley (1979) and Nadler & Lawler (1983), the concept and history of internship and its regulation. It is characterized as an exploratory-descriptive research, with a quantitative approach, since it uses quantification, both in the collection and in the treatment of information. As a tool for data collection, a virtual and online questionnaire was used, based on the model developed by Walton (1973), addressing each of the eight dimensions cited by the author. The research results showed that the experiences with the trainees had a direct influence on the quality of life in the work of the trainees, and verified that the dimension with higher averages was the immediate opportunity for the use and development of human capacity (66%) and the lowest average was the category work and the total space of life (20%).
